There is a growing interest in the development of natural fiber-reinforced composites, most
likely due to their wide availability, low cost, environment friendliness, and sustainability. The …

In this work hemp/kenaf fiber-unsaturated polyester composites were manufactured using a
resin transfer molding (RTM) process. The fiber mats, with a moisture content of 4.3% at 50 …

The development of temperature field of thick thermoset matrix laminates manufactured by
autoclave vacuum bag process were measured and compared with the numerically …

A 3-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate and analyze the temperature
and degree of cure field of epoxy casting part during cure process. The present model based …

Duringthe curingprocess of thick glass/epoxy composite laminates, substantial amounts of
temperature lagand overshoot at the center of the laminates is usually experienced due to …

Plant-based fibers have been selected as suitable reinforcements for composites due to
their good mechanical performances and environmental advantages. This paper describes …

The problem of Poiseuille flow in a fluid overlying a porous medium saturated with the same
fluid is studied. A careful linear instability analysis is carried out. It is shown that there are …

Fiber reinforced polymer composites are used in high-performance aerospace applications
as they are resistant to fatigue, corrosion free and possess high specific strength. The …

A friction damping layer was inserted between the composite and aluminum parts of the rim
of a metal-composite hybrid wheel to enhance the damping capacity and ride comfort. A …

A two-domain approach is used to investigate the thermal convection of Poiseuille flow in an
anisotropic and inhomogeneous porous domain underlying a fluid domain. The flow of the …
